Gameplay

The Mega Drive version of Star Control adds a further six scenarios not seen in the original Amiga version.

History

Development

The Mega Drive Star Control was ported from its Amiga incarnation. The original game was written in C, and porting to the Mega Drive took roughly four months[6].

As a 12-megabit (1.5MB) cartridge, Star Control was the largest Mega Drive game at the time of release[6], a selling point so prized by Accolade, that the publisher rushed the port out of the door before optimisations to the gameplay could be made.
